6-5A best distict in Metroplex?

[CoppellCowboy57]

6-5A now has 5 teams in the DMN top 20

Euless Trinity/ South GP/ Irving/ Irving Mac/ Coppell

by far I think we have the best running district with Moody, Evans, Wakins, Nance...

but at this stage of the season, I think most teams in 6-5A could end up winning alot of games...

[bhs06]

The only push over team is GP, I think all other of the 7 teams have a shot of making the playoffs. It won't surprise me if the district champ has a record of 5-2 or 4-3.

weren't you ragging on the dmn poll last week? polls this time of year are pretty , no make that totally subjective. they really ought to hold them until october, or at least week 4 when district play begins in earnest. 6-5a has it's share of good teams, and 1 great one. kind of like several others, 5-5a comes to mind. for the time being, they are in the top 3 in my book, i'm just not quite subjectively driven top declare yet.

[CoppellCowboy57]

I wasnt ragging on the DMN poll..i was upset that, Coppell was behind Jesuit...now im good :)

5-5A has one great team and a few other decent...

I think 6-5A all district would beat 5-5A all district

[dragons08]

5-5A has one great team and a few other decent...

I think 6-5A all district would beat 5-5A all district
i disagree with that, i think itd be close, but 5-5a wins it

[CoppellCowboy57]

i disagree with that, i think itd be close, but 5-5a wins it

6-5As o-line would out power 5-5As d-line because we have trintys O-Line...we have the best running backs in the state...and some of the biggest/quickest linebackers in the state

[dragonsdaddy]

let's keep the arguement to team play not individual sports like all-star games. there is 1 great team in each district period. 2-5 may favor 6-5a, may, but you could throw bell, richland, gv, fridge and nimitz in a sack and which ever one you selected would be 500 against the others. there'll be somewhat of a descrambler come po time when the districts go mano y mano. till then it's academic at best and gingoistic at worst.

[GTown02]

11-5a is the best in the DFW area of course! ;)

[dragonsdaddy]

doubt many agree outside 11-5a, but who knows.

[Garland02]

11-5a is the best in the DFW area of course! ;)

sshhhhh......lets just be the worst for awhile :cool:

[GarlandOwl06]

doubt many agree outside 11-5a, but who knows.

But SLC's district is the best because theyre in it? We did have 3 teams in the area top 20.

[CoppellCowboy57]

But SLC's district is the best because theyre in it? We did have 3 teams in the area top 20.

we have 5

[bhs06]

One thing for sure is that 6-5A is probably the most wide open and competitive district. Everyone is at a consensus that Trinity will grab a playoff spot, but the other 2 spots are wide open and can be taken by any team from the district except Grand Prairie, who I don't think will win a game at all this year.

[dragonsdaddy]

where did that idea come from. quit jumping to unfounded conclusions. you'll pull a muscle or something. i have been recorded many times stating how mediocre we are 2-8. unknowledgeables may argue for it but not me. i will argue that 11 5a is not the best however.

this is my final prediction for 6-5A

Euless Trinity - Obviously the best in 6-5A, no doubt...
Irving High - Jamall Evans and Co. Finished Second this year, stronger then last year
Coppell - Moody and Co look to rebound after last year, have much more speed then expected
Irving Mac- Still a great team, but in 6-5A there not as strong,
SGP - Good team, good program, but in 6-5A wont have enought to make the play-offs
Irving Nimtz- Wakins Jamall Evans cousin, is looking to put Nimtz back on the map, but I dont think he alone will be able to do it.
LD Bell- After last year, they have alot to do, to prove to anyone that they are a team that can make the play-offs, they have a new coach, and alot of changes. so anything is possible
GP- No chance, sorry, I love the Gophers (i just like the name) but no chance, they will have to make a complete turn around from last year to even have a chance

[bhs06]

Coppell: Not as much talent as the other schools but probably works harder than any other school. Many teams(like us last year) will look at their team and think they can dominate but will be in for a surprise. Moody changes that image a bit though.

Grand Prairie: No chance, this team is really bad and has nothing to show that it can even finish higher than last in the district.

Irving: Probably has more talent than any other team in the district but discipline is probably ranking last. They have a great chance but can blow it.

LD Bell: Like Irving, rich in talent, concerns with discipline and leadership. Will need to be executing at near-perfect by the first District Game to have a chance

MacArthur: Their JV was pretty good, finishing at a respectable 5-2. They lost a lot of talent but can regroup that. The question is can they all execute?

Nimitz: 4th year starter at QB and great RB, but not much else to be excited about. Can upset an opponent or two but I don't see them taking a playoff spot.

SGP: Great defense, unknown offense. Their QB on JV last year was good and they went 10-0, but he carried that team and rushed for 330 yards against our JV for what I know. Their defense will score points but their offense needs to show what they can do.

Trinity: Pretty much a lock for the playoffs but if they don't come ready to play a team out of this district can and will beat them

[GTown02]

I was being sarcastic when I made my comment... but I do think 11-5a is a top district in the area, certainly not the best IMO. :cool:

[RidgePride]

Hey..Hey...Hey..


Ridge did beat Irving Last year.- One of the 5-5a playoff teams

[Garland02]

I love the Gophers (i just like the name)

me too! :p

[bhs06]

Hey..Hey...Hey..


Ridge did beat Irving Last year.- One of the 5-5a playoff teams

So did we, 28-7, and we all know how terrible we did last year.

Irving has that quality. Some games didn't come ready to play at all, especially against us. Jamaal Evans being ejected from the game against us also helped, but they had no desire to be there that Saturday Afternoon. Had we played them on the Friday Night it would have been different, but the rain came and that dampened their will to play. I think after that loss and a very close game against bottom feeder Grand Prairie, they shifted into a higher gear and realized that this district will be no pushover like the last season. They went on to gave MacArthur and Trinity all they could handle, and beat SGP, Coppell and Nimitz to grab the final playoff spot.

When We beat them, they were at full strength - No ejections

[businesstron]

No respect for 7-5A? now thats the toughest cut throat district. Besides Bowie it's pretty tough up and down.

Lamar- They Lamar
Desoto - Got crushed by Euless but still talented
Duncanville - Need I say more?
Martin - Is a solid team year in and out
Arlington - Had a down year but always play tough
Sam Houston Decent team can't break into that top three
Cedar Hill - Gets better every year
Bowie..........the only powder puff.

How can you say its a down year for Lamar when they have yet to play a game? Lamar is used to losing tons of starters each year and yet they always find themselves back among the top of the rankings each year in the metroplex. Until someone dethrones Lamar from this district, they are still the team to beat. Also Duncanville is talented year in and year out, as far as top heavy district's go, this might be the best in the area.

I agree with Duncanville - But Lamar will be down along with the rest of the district.

Of course 3 teams will make the playoffs

[farmerfan]

By down year, what do you mean, for Lamar a down year has turned into a 8-3 season, for a lot of programs that is a great year, for Lamar it is a down year. I see Lamar making it to at least the 2nd round of the playoffs, there is no one in district 8-5A who will beat them this year.

I think Lamar is the only GREAT team in this district, Desoto, got beat by a very good trinity team, Duncanville is pretty decent each year

[farmerfan]

I think Lamar is the only GREAT team in this district, Desoto, got beat by a very good trinity team, Duncanville is pretty decent each year

Duncanville is beyond decent each year, last year in the playoffs Duncanville and Trinity played one of the best games on the entire playoffs. With the talet Duncanville has to go along with the coaching, they are always contenders for a D1 state title, you put Coppell in that district then the Cowgirls would not even sniff the playoffs.

[Red Cowboys]

Farmerfan ,

Coppell has defeated Duncanville three years in a row in non district play.
So I do not think Cowgirls is an appropriate reference.That is COPPELL COWBOYS to you!!!! COWBOY FIGHT NEVER DIES!!!!

[dragonsdaddy]

i'd say that definitely lends credence to your argument.

[farmerfan]

Well till Coppell has the same success that Duncanville has enjoyed in the playoffs, then I will call Coppell whatever I please, we shall see how the cowgirls do this year when they travel to Duncanville.

[CoppellCowboy57]

you put Coppell against Duncanville past three years and you win each game...Coppell has NEVER lost to Duncanville last year was the best played game, 14-13 Coppell, mind you Coppell went 4-6 and Duncanville went 10-3 (I think)....So according to you us Cowgirls, must be able to compete with Duncanville, and teams like Ducanville...I guess we will see in two weeks...

as you FARMER...back off, until you play teams like Trinity and Irving, because last I remember you havnt beaten us Cowgirls in a long time...

[dragonsdaddy]

i'm betting that the head to head since 80 is 2-0 for coppell. not a long tradition of competition.

[CoppellCowboy57]

i'm betting that the head to head since 80 is 2-0 for coppell. not a long tradition of competition.

what? Against the Farmers? or Duncanville? Your right, we have only play the farmers twice, and won the first one in OT and the next one we killed them...Duncanville, we have beaten pretty badly over the past 3 years excluding last years game which we won because of a missed extra point

Lewisville has never beaten Coppell, granted we have only been fortunate enough to play the Coppell twice, lucky for you all it was when we started our decline, however you did beat us and I wont take that away from ya, however both games were gift wrapped for ya. Sad thing is, after you beat us the first time, I have never seen a stadium react the way that you guys did, and you were close to defeat, we dont fumble on our first possesion in OT at the 1 yard line, we win, case closed, however those sound like excuses and I wont blame the defeat on that play. The second time was close as well, we gave Coppell 14 pts right off the bat by fumbling on 2 of our first 3 plays of the game, the game If i remember got close after that.
Also we have for years while you were in the cellar playing schools such as Trinity, Duncanville, Permian and Lee in the playoffs, back in 1998 and 1999 we opened up the playoffs against Trinity. In 98 they were 10-0 and beat us 21-14, the following year we were 10-0 and they were 9-1 and we beat the 24-21, so dont give me that crap that untill we play Trinity or anyone else cause we have been doing so years before anyone knew who coppell was.

The 90's are over, who cares what y'all did then, you guys havnt seen the play-offs in years, what have we done, 5 outta the past 6 years we have been in the first second or third round of the play-offs, we have played Lamar, Irving, SGP, some of the best metroplex teams in the past three years...thats what we've done this decade, what about you...

[businesstron]

I do notice Coppell has been beating Duncanville but I think Duncanville classifies as great(or atleast below it). Hell in the last 9 years we've went to the playoffs every year expect one(and we were 8-2 that year) Historically at one time Duncanville played the teams that Coppell plays now and had just about the same success(except for that one bad year). 6-5a and 7-5a are pretty similar if you think about it.

[farmerfan]

Well this decade we went to the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2000 only to get beat by Duncanville 24-14 in a very good HS football game finishing 10-2, the following year, we went 9-2, had one of the 5 best teams in the state. We got upset in the 1st round by Fossil Ridge, a game that could have gone into OT but Coach Gage elected to go for a TD instead of tie it and send it into OT, we lost 23-20, fossil ridge stoped us on the 3yd line, they went on to the semifinals, and had a very good football team. After that we started to decline, but we will be back, dont think the same can be said for Coppell, you boast about 5 playoff apperances in 6 years, well try a string of 11 consecutive and 13 out of 14 year run starting in 1988. Can Coppell say the same? Like I said you got us when the two years we were in a district together, however everyone has been getting there licks in on us now, if you are neive enough to think that trend will continue then you have another thing coming, we will be back and wins over us wont be as easy as they are now.

Some people are ******** and live in the past. Coppell could of beat you last year, this year and next year. So please we don't care about your 80's and 90's. That is great the Farmers have a history but so does Permian and well lets just say they aren't near the top 100 in the state. Go to the playoffs this year and next and then talk all you want until then please just don't post because your arguements are ancient.

[farmerfan]

Well considering the cowgirls did not make the playoffs last year, I dont think I'll take the advice from a fan of a program who has accomplished absolutely nothing. Also I brought up the past since mr 57 asked what we have done this decade. So I simply pointed out to him that we got off to a good start this decade, and also point out that the 5 playoff appearances in 6 years is not that impressive.
Coppell will never be regarded as a elite team or a feared program, so go get some history and at least win a district championship in the states largest classification before you come on here and put down the Farmers. I have stated many times on here that we are not a very good football team right now, and we have struggled for the last 3 years, that still does not take away from what we have accomplished on the football field, three years of mediocre football does not take away from decades of excellence.

we won the 5-5A District championship in 2000, 2001 we won a co-championship w/ collyville...thats two in the past 5 years, then we had slc in our district during there first 5A Championship and there loss to Smithson Vally... and the year after that 05' we had the first losing team since '95 (the team in 95'-98' finished in 4A (5-5)

[farmerfan]

Then you have exactly as many 5A district titles as the Famers do in this decade, actually you are half a district title from two, so we still have that on ya, as you have pointed out and I agree with, both times we played yall beat us, but I have never seen a reaction like I saw from the Coppell fans after beating a team with a losing record, must have meant something to ya.

[bhs06]

Does Lewisville still run the wish bone offense?

[farmerfan]

We are adjusting to a new coach and a new system this year, we have gone more to a multiple set on offense, we will run a 2 back set w/o a TE, then go one back at times and occasionaly go out of the gun. Its a whole new concept for the players and the fans. I hate seeing the wishbone go, but we have to go with what the new coach knows. By the end of the year, we could put some points on the board, its just keeping other teams from doing the same that will present a very big challenge for us.

[bhs06]

Yea, as for the past 5 years for us we ran the wishbone offense and even though our offensive line was just as big as Trinity's, any team knew that 8 in the box and blitzing left and right would shut it down. It is a lot harder to pull off in 5A now.

please stop with the declaring that slc lost to sv. and this is the 05 season, so i don't think it is acceptible to make comments about it yet

[THE DEACON]

I agree with Duncanville - But Lamar will be down along with the rest of the district.

Of course 3 teams will make the playoffs

RIDGEPRIDE... IS THIS FOSSIL RIDGE??? I KNOW THIS, THEY WOULD NOT LAST IN 7-5A!

it was a close game was it not, wouldnt your crowd react like that after an over time win...

[Gooseisland10]

FarmerFan when Lewisville beats Coppell, ever, then you can talk. Until then please just go back to the 90's I hear it was a great decade. Your team is washed up and there is no need to talk trash.

Lamar - Down year
Desoto - Well... you said it yourself - Got crushed by Euless
Duncanville - don't know
Martin - Sux
Arlington - Beat by Grapevine last week
Sam Houston - sux
Cedar Hill - Sux
Bowie - Sux

What do you think about your distict now???

I thought Duncanville would be your only decent team this year, but I was wrong.

As I stated previously - - -This is a down year for Lamar
If they go 7-3 in the regular season, it is because they win 7 games in an easy district.

[bhs06]

I believe district 6-5A is now 10-2 overall. Is there a district with a better overall record than that so far?

This week's winners:

Bell
Trinity
Irving
SGP
MacArthur

This week's losers:

Grand Prairie
Coppell

In my opinion 6-5a is the toughest district in this area.

Having said that, Fossil Ridge still should have won that game against Irving.
Score was Ridge 20 Irving 17 late in the 4th quarter Ridge had the ball 1st and goal from around the 1. Irving stuffed us 4 straight times then took it 95 yards to score the game winner with 10 seconds left. Game over Irving 23 Ridge 20

[bhs06]

At Maverick Stadium, the announcer was going through area scores and said when we were still at the beginning of the 3rd quarter:

"With about a minute to go in Keller, Fossil Ridge leads Irving 20-17"

Everyone was kind of shocked because we expected for Irving to win. We thought they were going to lose but they didn't. I guess Irving is vulnerable after all.

[Red Cowboys]

The loss by Coppell was to the #1 ranked team in the state, SLC.

[CoppellCowboy57]

The loss by Coppell was to the #1 ranked team in the state, SLC.

umm...duh? I think you just pointed out somthing everyone here knows

[bhs06]

I think he means that the two losses our district has are to good teams, Carroll and Skyline have beaten 6-5A(although Grand Prairie can't help it).

[CoppellCowboy57]

I think he means that the two losses our district has are to good teams, Carroll and Skyline have beaten 6-5A(although Grand Prairie can't help it).

Yeah but still, GP doesnt count as a team, I think we should vote them out of our district...

[bhs06]

It's great to close the season out with GP, especially for example if we are in a 4 way tie with other teams at a 3-3 record

[CoppellCowboy57]

It's great to close the season out with GP, especially for example if we are in a 4 way tie with other teams at a 3-3 record

Im guessing there will be a three our four way tie for that last play-off spot, Irving, Irving Nimtz, Coppell and SGP...And all four of the teams play each other in week 10 just like last years three way tie for the 3rd and final play-off spot. Irving had to beat Irving Nimtz or Coppell and SGP would be knocked out, If Irving won the winner of the Coppell and SGP game would make it...well Irving won, and nobuddy cared about Coppell and SGP...

[bhs06]

So after two weeks of play...

I think Irving underachieved on Friday, they should have won by a lot more. It may have been trying to adjust to a new QB, but they returned 3 year starters Evans and Tennell. They under achieved last season until they were 1-2 and 2-3 respectively and had to rally to claim the last playoff spot.

SGP also showed some flaws. Summitt just isn't the team it was last year, and SGP showed that their offense needs work. Denzel Dewberry isn't facing JV defenses anymore and its no longer going to be those 85 yard QB draws that he is used to. 25-99 is still good for a QB but his passing stats were pretty bad along with his two fumbles late in the game.

Coppell is looking pretty good. If they beat Duncanville on Friday watch out, and they have 2 weeks to prepare for Trinity. Although their defense needs to step up in high powered 6-5A. Their passing game has been better than expected.

Not much is known about Nimitz so far except they beat a WT White team I have no clue about. Their QB and RB are 3rd year starters so they have experience but not in many other places. They should beat Lewisville and Lamar looks to be on a down year so they could enter their first district game against SGP at 3-0. If they can beat Lamar, again watch out for a team that can surprise.

MacArthur had a bit of trouble with a talented 4A team. Seguin is no pushover, but it took a while for Mac to get rolling. Most of Mac's playmakers are gone, so new ones will have to step up, most importantly at QB, WR, and DB. I don't think there is any chance that they will go 10-0 or even 9-1 this year.

We showed that we can play with our new offense Friday. If we can fix our mental defensive mistakes, we can a dark horse. We defeinatley have the size, speed, physical play and talent to be a good defensive team, just need to fix those mental mistakes and be in better shape(one of our CB's was tired so he ran off the field and we had 10 on the field, leading to a long Bowie TD pass) and most of all stay healthy. One of our starting DEs was goofing around before practice Wednesday and tried to kick our punter's punt as it was about to land, missed it and hurt his ankle and is out until Flower Mound Sept. 16. No reason we should enter district play at anything but 3-0.

I think everyone knows how Trinity is doing. They should roll but you never know, they may play a game and fumble the ball a few times, and throw a few picks to turn a game around. If they do lose at all it will be a high scoring shoot-out.

So after two weeks of play...

I think Irving underachieved on Friday, they should have won by a lot more. It may have been trying to adjust to a new QB, but they returned 3 year starters Evans and Tennell. They under achieved last season until they were 1-2 and 2-3 respectively and had to rally to claim the last playoff spot.

I think Coppell is a team that can pass, alot of ppl last year blamed QB Danial Raudabaugh, no offense to him or anything he wasnt the best of Leaders but he was a great QB. 67% of his passes were on target, we just couldnt hang on to his laser passes he has a cannon on his arm with great accuracy, he just has no touch on his passes, thats the diffrence between him and jr. QB Kenny Graves, he has a cannon with great accurcy, but he has alot of touch his recivers can catch that ball, but the queston his, can WRs burn Defenders deep, thats the biggest queston mark I have for offense

You did not even see the game - How could you say that.
Fossil Ridge had 4 turnovers (Twice inside the Irving 20) The Other 2 Led to points for Irving and we still should have won. We drove all up and down the field on them.

Fossil Ridge is a little better than people think - They will contend for a playoff spot.
That is not a homer call either - They may lose to Plano this week.
Irving is not as good as last year. They do have Jamall and Tennell and that is about it. Ther O-Line is not as good; their D-Line is not as good; Their secondary is not as good.

Yeah, Daniel Radabaugh was a great pitcher in baseball as well.

RidgePride: I don't know much about Fossil Ridge, but I do know that Irving has probably more talent than anyone in the area and that is why they should be a team to watch for this year. Discipline and focus are things that seem to be holding Irving back right now but they can beat anyone on any given night.

Daniel will be good in College, where recivers can hold on to the faster passers...

I agree with BHS about the discipline and focus of Jamall Evans...he can knock anyone out

Just because Irving is projected to be good this year, does not mean that they are good.
You are promoting their talent level based on two players.
Irving did not look that good to me. Jamal and Tenell are awesome players though.
